To aZZwwm 'it mag/concern.'

Be it` known that we, JOHN M. HAYs and JOHN E. FinnnAm'citiZens of the United States, residing at Ringwood, in the county of Major and State` of Oklahoma, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dump-Wagons, of which the following is a f, specification.y

With these objects in view, use is made of i a tilting platform or table towhich is opdetails of construction and combination of` eratively connected a novel type' of operating means tofacilitate `the tilting of the table in oppositelateraldirections ina simple and expeditious manner.

Furthermore, we aim in providing a novel means for locking the table in an upright position or `at various angles with respect to the-vehicle, in order thatthe hay will be dumped in the stacker in a quick, simple and expeditious manner.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features,

parts which will hereinafter be more fully set forth, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended Y claim.

Figure 1 1s a side'elevation;

Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2 2 of Fig 1, illustrating the dumping position of the table by dotted lines;

Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3 3 of y Fig. l; and f Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2,showing a slightly modified form of operating mechanism for the table. n o v Referring more particularlyto'the drawing, in which like characters of reference refer to corresponding parts in the several views, V5 denotes a wheeled vehicle including a front axle 6, a rear axle 7 yand aibody 8.' FiXedly secured to the axles is -al stationaryV bolster 9 arranged lengthwise of the axles and formed on its upper edge with oppo!v sitely, downwardly and outwardly inclined specificati@ of Letters raten/c.k

stated as a body portion,is`here shownfas of flat elongated form providing a vtable or platform upon which hay, wheat .or the like.

material is supported in, thehauling of the material to a stacker. j f p The chief characteristic ofthe present invention involves mounting Of"`the[body .8

on the stationary Ibolster" 9 A for movement 1n opposite lateral directions with 4respect to the bed of the vehicle. To this end, use is made of a movablebolster 11 having-.its confronting edge 12 inclining outwardlytoward theoppositey ends of the bolsterV and supporting Onit's upper edge the body 8 of the vehicle. Ak pair of links 13 are disposed to opposite sides of thegrespective stationary Y and movable bolsters, and Vterminally con; y

nected at one end to the opposite faoesof the bolster through the medium vof, rivets or the like fastening devices 14, .Whereas the` lowerend of the metal strapslare pivotally connected tothe intermediatelportion of the stationary bolster 9, and the piv- Y otal point of the movable bolster is denoted bv the character 15, supporting the body 8 to the stationary bolster for opposite lateral or horizontal movements with respect to the bed of thevehicle. Y o

Each of the respective bolsters 9 is provided adjacent the ends thereof with openingsV 16, the pairs of openings of one bolster alining longitudinally with the pairs of openings of the opposite bolster, serving as bearings for the spaced parallel drive shafts l17 and 18 respectively. -Each of the drive lshafts has mounted lthereon at points inf wardly of the stationary bolster pinions 19,

while a pinion 20 is likewise mounted on.

the drive shaft 17 at a point forwardly of vthe respective stationary bolsters, the purlpose of which will be fully set forth as the description ofthe invention is proceeded with. The structure so' far described, is common to both forms of the invention, buty now specifically referring to the preferred embodiment of the linvention disclosed in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, it will be manifest that the mechanism for operating theV body 8 of the vehicle is in the form of a flexible link chain 21 connected at its terminal Vin the openings 22 provided adjacent the ends of the movalble bolster 10, and trained over revolving the drive shafts through the methe pinions 19 of the drive shafts, whereby portions l0.Y The member 8, ganercallyv diem 0f the w91? .23; .in 011e direction, will .11.9

cause'the rocking of the movable bolster sition, and upon a further turning of., the

crank in the same direction, the body will be vtilted in an opposite direction. However,-

a locking paWl 24-jby meshing With the pin- Will tend to prevent any accidental rotation of the driveshaft 17 and hold the body in a levelor tilted position.

l"slightly modifiedy form of operating mechanism isshown in the modified form of the invention', reference being had to Fig.' l, wherein instead of the employment of ya flexible chain, use is made ofa rack bar 25 connected at its upper end with one end of the movable bolster 11 and depending thereromand loosely extending Vthrough the guidevfslot 26. A locking pawl27 vv1s pro vided for locking" the frack bar 25 against any vaccidental reciprocating movement, and in'turn preventing any accidental tilting acand tending tojhold the body ina level or uprightl VpositionV during the transportationof the vehicle. 'In both thelpreferred and modified forms of the inthe confronting edges kof the respective stationary andm'ovable bolsters by being provided Withopposite inclined edges a' ord a non-obstruction to the tilting action ofthe lbody. f f

, v From the foregoing description,- taken in connection With the accompanying draw'-V the principles of operation of the invention, together With theV device Which We novvfcon-l Sider to be the best embodiment thereof, We desire to have it understood thatthe device shown is merely illustrative and that such lchanges maybe made when desired as `are Within the'scope of the appended claim. l What is claimed as new, is

A dumping Wagon comprising a body 'and running gear, a pairof bolsters `on each of said parts, sald holsters lbeing of Wedge shape Wi h the pointed ends ofthellovver pair engaging the pointed ends-of they upper pair, a pair of straps carried by each ofthe upper pair and pivotally engaginggthe'loyver pair, said straps-'being located at the' apexes of the jholsters, a pair'of shafts rotatably mounted in the lovver bolsters, pinions on said shafts, a chain engaging said pinions and having its ends connected With the ends of the upper holsters Aand means for man! ually rotating one of said shafts.
